One Pan Roast Beef & Vegetables
Don't complicate it. If there's anything about cooking I want everyone to understand, it's that it doesn't need to be fancy. It doesn't need to be perfect, or plated, or polished. Food already tastes good. The stuff you buy at the store? It's already good! Some simple seasonings and an appropriate source of heat is […]

Everything I Drink in a Day
I once heard, "you're not sick; you're thirsty," and although I realize this is a blanket statement, it really made me evaluate my h2o intake. Hydration can do wonders for health, so I'm always making sure I get enough water throughout the day, but sometimes I like to mix it up (literally) by drinking more […]

Introducing The New CLJxStuga Flooring called Faye
After we bought our home in 2021, we were in a race to lay new hardwood flooring before moving in, and it was one of the most stressful parts of the entire renovation. We flew across the country to approve the color of our stain-in-place white oak, only to be disappointed with the options, and […]

Good news, our Bonneville Peel & Stick Floor Tiles are restocked!

Dairy-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse | Chris Cooks
For me, simple desserts are hard to beat. A scoop of good ice cream. A cool creme brûlée. A piece of cheesecake. But what do those all have in common? Dairy. So especially when it comes to a romantic dinner for two, desserts can be tough on those with food restrictions. And nothing kills romance […]

3 Ways to Style Your Nightstand

(Really, we were stretching our dollars and making do with a little bedside stool, but wow, was it an upgrade when we finally scored two nightstands for the price of $25!) […]
